results grip strength and tip and palmer pinch strength in dominant side were statistically greater than them in nondominant side (p < 0.05). there were significant associations between grip strength and height (r = 0.33, p < 0.001), body mass (r = 0.50, p < 0.001), bmi (r = 0.37, p < 0.001), muscle mass of upper extremity (r = 0.56, p < 0.001), fat free mass (r = 0.57, p < 0.001), fat mass (r ...

We recently demonstrated a polarization technique that eliminates the frequency drift due to dielectric charge in MEMS oscillators [1]. In this work we show that these oscillators are also firstorder insensitive to low-frequency voltage noise, with potential for significant positive impact on predicted close-to-carrier phase noise performance. Close-to-carrier noise also determines the limits o...

Macrophytes show a zonal distribution along the lake littoral zone because of their specific preferred water depths while the optimum growth water depths of dominant submersed macrophytes in natural lakes are not well known. We studied the seasonal biomass and frequency patterns of dominant and companion submersed macrophytes along the water depth gradient in Lake Erhai in 2013. The results sho...

The linear predictive coding pole processing (LPCPP) method proposed in our previous work overcomes the shortcomings of LPC method, especially its sensitivity to noise and filter order. LPCPP is a parameterised that involves poles produce series reduced-order transfer functions estimate dominant frequency components signal. This paper analyses ability track changes noisy, time-varying signals r...

SUMMARY A web-based application has been designed from a genetic epidemiology point of view to analyze association studies. Main capabilities include descriptive analysis, test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and linkage disequilibrium. Analysis of association is based on linear or logistic regression according to the response variable (quantitative or binary disease status, respectively). Analy...

This abstract describes the tempo extraction algorithm used for the University of Victoria submission to the MIREX (Music Information Retrieval Exchange) 2005. The algorithm is mostly based on self-similarity rather than onset detection. However, an onset detection component is used to calculate the phase of the dominant periodicities. Multiple frequency bands are calculated using a Discrete Wa...

background: survival of the semi-allograft fetus during pregnancy opens a new area for the immunological based causes of recurrent spontaneous abortion (rsa). cytotoxic t lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (ctla4) is a negative regulator of the t-cell activation, which may modulate peripheral self-tolerance of the allogeneic fetus. the present study aimed to investigate the +49 a/g ctla4 genetic p...
